I come home and had my car parked outside a couple of days because of garage work. Somebody decided to write "Wash me : )" on my car. I have a black c6. When i saw it i already knew my clear coat was scratched. I mean how stupid can people be these days. Im trying to figure out who it was. People dont realize how hard i work to keep this thing clean and taken care of. I barely have 10k miles on it. Im just pissed off.

Before washing
After washing
As you know, this act is essentially writing with sandpaper. I'm truly sorry!
I feel your pain brother. ive seen it and hate it. don't know why dumb ***** feel they can do this. but how can some dumbdi*k not realize it scratches the clear coat.
Most people don't care about their vehicles and also have no clue what causes scratches and swirls because they only go to a carwash and never actually bother to wash it themselves. Take a look at a lot of the $80k brand new Yukon Denali's running around and they're trashed.
Yup, there's stupid people everywhere. You'd think those same stupid people would be too busy looking for Pokemon versus taking the time to dust write on your car.

I think i will come out with a polisher but it is still very annoying. I hsually mever let that must dirt accumulate on my car. I do have a PorterCable dual action polisher which i will use to try to get these out using meguiars 105 and 205. Whoever did it wasnt trying to create harm i dont think but i just cant stand this crap.
Not to be inconsiderate but look at your car in the picture after the wash, it is one big swirl mark inside the u scratch. I am assuming your whole car is that way because that swirl was not created when they wrote on your car. Your whole car needs to be rubbed out. I don't think writing on your car made it any worse than what it was although I'm not saying it was right to write on your car to begin with.

Yes, you are correct. The car was going to be polished by me this month anyways. I just recently bought it like this. Whoever had it before probably used improper washing technique. Writing on it definitely made it worse though....i have a happy face in the paint now. Will compound and polish the car in a couple weeks. Hopefully it comes out good.

Seems like some people want to find an excuse for just about any kind of bad behavior. That's why this country sucks. If someone wrote on the OPs car and scratched the finish then that person is responsible for doing some damage to the OP. That's it! No lame excuses. No critical analysis of the condition of his car prior to the indiscretion of the perp.

I hate it when people write on paint
5 minutes with some Scratch-X or similar product and it will be good as new. I understand your frustration but things are going to happen.
